Future Stars continued their meteoric rise on the ‘street football circuit’, defeating Back Circle 1-0 to clinch the 3rd Annual Xtra Beer ‘Ballers in the Summer’ Street Football Championship on Saturday.

In a contest that featured very few chances at the Pouderoyen Market Tarmac, Future Stars sealed the win in the 18th minute, as eventual Most Valuable Player (MVP) awardee Jamal Cozier settled the outcome.

Cozier upon receiving the ball on the left side, slotted home into the back of the net, effectively settling the matchup. Due to the result, Future Stars walked away with $400,000 and the championship trophy.
